Vote for Wayne Waldack. FOUR MORE YEARS!!! of the same government. If you liked Minozzi, you are going to love Wayne.

Great news!! The city can now let Lisa Douglas go; they have a new propagandist, Leslie Williams, that they don't even have to pay for. We can save $70,000 and use if for more testing.
Where is the fair and balanced journalism? If you go to the LTE at the Sun Times you will find a number of well informed comments by the citizens. Why aren't their viewpoints being expressed?
It appears that Leslie doesn't even need to use the phone. She just goes to City Hall and gets their press releases. How many phone call did Leslie make to write this article.
We don't need another Billy Bruce; we need another Liam Dillan or Ed Bania.

Sorry, Make that the Naples Daily News. They have the article on the beach closing. We also have a very leaky central sewer system. This is the issue we should be addressing. We need to fix our 30+year old system that is leaking before we add 6,500 more homes that are on septic tanks that aren't polluting at all.

Ed you might want to check today's Eagle. The beach on Sanibel is closed due to human waste. It may be from the sewer system. Sanibel doesn't have septic systems.

If you read his blogs, Wayne hasn't had a job since 1995 when he retired to take care of his mother. He had numerous careers with little success, if any, at any of them. He is a Minozzi clone. Another non achiever looking for something to do. I am sure he is a nice guy and is well liked at the Knights of Columbus and the Men's club but the city needs and can do much better. If a person doesn't have a track record of success, we can't take the chance that he has what it takes to run the city.

Ed Issler, I called the FDEP as you suggested. They don't have any idea of what you are talking about. They don't have any plans to legislate the replacement of septic tanks. What number did you call? Please give us a number to prove that you are not perpetrating another fear mongering hoax. What do you think your reputation is on the island? What do you think people think when they see you?

Again we see another misrepresentation from Mr. Issler. Show us one documented source that supports your contention. Key West is built on coral, not on sand. The truth is that governments are moving away from central sewer systems across the country. Central sewers are the largest contributor to beach closings in the country accounting for over 25,000 last year alone. Is this the kind of distortion that we can expect from you and Wally if you are elected? Marco Island deserves better.

Walduck and Issler have a long paper trail of documented misrepresentations. It will be great to finally see them held accountable in the debates. And this is the city's dream team? No wonder Moss is out looking for a new job.

Mr. Waldack's candidacy will be a major embarasement for the existing government. I expect that he won't get 500 votes which will expose the voter's total rejection of this council and its style of government. The people need a vehicle to express their rejection of this council. Mr. Waldack and Mr. Issler are the men to give them that. Their falure at the polls will prove that the 2,000 voters that signed the recall petition are not simply a few malcontents. We need Mr. Waldack and Mr. Issler to eliminate any doubt that there isn't any support for this government.
